Nations League Round-up: England Win, Scotland Trounced
- New Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli endured a demoralizing Hampden Park debut as his 10-man side were dismantled 3-0 by Switzerland in the Nations League.
- Jack Hendry was sent off in the 11th minute for denying a goal-scoring opportunity, forcing Scotland to play with 10 men; Ricardo Rodriguez curled the resulting free-kick past goalkeeper Angus Gunn.
- Switzerland dominated proceedings, enjoying 75 per cent possession in the first half while exploiting their numerical advantage; Nico Elvedi doubled the lead in the 55th minute, and Zeki Amdouni added a third in the 82nd minute.
- Aston Villa captain John McGinn called the result a "big setback" and insisted the side must use it as a learning experience, as Pocognoli's team now sits bottom of Group B1 with one point from two games.
- Pocognoli's squad must rouse themselves for Saturday's match in North Macedonia to salvage their Nations League campaign, as Scotland remains winless and faces pressure to stay competitive in the promotion race.
